There are only two games confirmed for Xbox Game Pass in March 2025 so far, but more are likely to be announced sooner rather than later. New games are added to Xbox Game Pass on a monthly basis, with Microsoft updating subscribers on the new additions every two weeks or so. However, release date announcements often ensure that Xbox Game Pass subscribers have more advanced notice about what's on the way. View the full article

Where are the Monster Hunter Wilds fish? A nice way to earn some EXP without the threat of getting your head trampled, fishing is a lovely, quiet pastime that not only nets you guild points but also some valuable items for your trouble. Some of the requested fish are notoriously difficult to find, so to save you the trouble of searching for them yourself, we've put together a list of exactly where you can find them. Nabbing wildlife without capturing them usually involves equipping one of the best Monster Hunter Wilds builds, sharpening your MH Wilds weapon, and preparing for violence. Fishing, however, is a relatively calm experience that allows you to take in the ambiance of Monster Hunter Wilds, and if done efficiently, can see you rack up a ton of ranks while you're at it.

What are the Lost Soul Aside system requirements for PC? We already have our first game to demand an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 series card in its system requirements, but thankfully it's only listed for ultra ray tracing performance. Lost Soul Aside is a PS5 and PC ARPG due out in May but is notable for starting out life as a game in development by just one person back in 2016. As we near the release, it's been revealed that many Steam users won't be able to play the game given that its PSN account requirement will limit sales in 130 countries. Read the rest of the story...

Mecha BREAK is essentially what would happen if Armored Core 6 became a multiplayer title, giving players control of massive combat mechs called Strikers and pitting them against each other. These combat Strikers are plentiful, each with their own set of unique weapons and mechanics. It can be a chore to learn how to go against them all, so here is a comprehensive guide to countering every Striker in Mecha BREAK. View the full article

It may or may not end up being a permanent addition, with more news to follow. View the full article

There’s nothing worse than getting sick and feeling incapable of doing even the most basic of daily tasks, but if you do succumb to the seasonal flu or other illness, it doesn’t have to be all bad. One of the best things about being sick has always been curling up on the sofa with a blanket, pillow, and something comforting on the TV while you doze in and out of the waking world. Even when you feel like death incarnate, it’s a comforting temporary reality. We might not be skipping school anymore, but we all need a little while to check out when we feel poorly. If you want something to watch in the background that doesn’t need too much focus but is enough to lift your spirits when you can’t breathe through your nose, here are the best feel-good shows to watch when you’re sick. Brooklyn Nine-Nine Image via Fox Brooklyn Nine-Nine has everything. Comedy, a will-they-won’t-they love story for the ages, an initially grumpy mentor, and all the drama you’d expect for a police unit in the middle of New York City. It’s eight seasons of now-beloved moments featuring Andy Samberg, Andre Braugher, Terry Crews, and a long list of other faces who feel like friends when you’ve finished the show and watched them grow. Ghosts Image via BBC You’d expect an infestation of spirits to be scary, but when Alison moves into an inherited house and gets much more than she bargained for, her spiritual companions are less spooky and more irritating. After they try and push her out of a window and she ends up dead for three minutes, suddenly she can communicate with them and ends up having to help them through their ghostly experiences so that they can ascend to the afterlife. To be clear, I’m talking about the original British version of Ghosts above because it outweighs the US version for me due to the casting (it’s everyone from Horrible Histories). Alison falls down the stairs in the US version. Both versions are just as good as the other, and it falls to personal preference which one you watch, but the British version is a full season ahead. Scrubs Image via NBC There’s something about Scrubs that makes it infinitely rewatchable (if you discount the final, trainwreck of a season), even if you’ve watched it a thousand times before and have memorized every line. It’s comforting, and the jokes still hit even when you know exactly what’s coming. Plus, when you’re sick, who better to have around than a bunch of doctors? It’s probably a good idea to keep some tissues handy, though, because Scrubs manages to hit you right in the feels when you least expect it. Parks and Recreation Image via NBC The 00s brought many comedy masterclass shows, and Parks and Recreation belongs near the top of that list. Set up as a mockumentary, Parks and Recreation follows Leslie Knope and her government career inside the Parks and Recreation department in Pawnee, Indiana. The relationships between her and the other staff are heartwarming, although at times hilarious, and it’s impossible not to love Ron Swanson. Russian Doll Image via Netflix Russian Doll is the story of Nadia, who somehow ends up reliving the day of her 36th birthday on an infinite loop that always ends in her death. She reawakens repeatedly, lives the same day, loses her mind a little bit, dies, and then does it all again. She eventually meets someone who is also stuck in a loop, and they try to unravel the mystery of what’s going on. The second series is straight-up time travel, but it’s no less enjoyable than the first. Cunk On… Image via BBC Philomena Cunk is the definition of the village ******, although I mean that in the best way possible, if there is such a thing. The premise of any Cunk On… show is that this ****** discusses big ideas with scientists and experts but asks them questions that nobody wants to know the answers to. She’s interviewed Brian Cox, she’s explored the history of Britain and the history of the Earth. Each series is produced by Charlie Brooker, a genius and likely more well-known for his work on ****** Mirror. Cunk On… shows are amazing when you’re sick because they make no sense anyway, so falling asleep won’t make you miss anything. The Inbetweeners Image via E4 I will openly admit that this is a very British entry, but it’s my go-to show for when I’m feeling down or knocked on my butt by any illness. America did try to remake The Inbetweeners, but the adaptation failed hard, so the original British version reigns supreme. It’s a gross and horrifyingly funny insight into the world of teenage boys and everything they get up to, and I guarantee you’ll have known someone in your life who could easily fit into each of the four roles played out. Bob’s Burgers Image via Fox We all have that one animated show that keeps us coming back. For many, it’s Family Guy or the Simpsons, but for me, it’s Bob’s Burgers. Whether it’s Linda’s ability to see the good in everything while Bob remains down in his pessimistic slump, the story of Tina and her frankly concerning obsession over Jimmy’s butt, or the underlying oddness that runs through Seymour’s Bay. Even on the days when I feel at my worst, a single episode of Bob’s Burgers is enough to make me feel just a little bit better. Our Flag Means Death Image via HBO Max What could go wrong when an aristocrat going through a mid-life crisis decides that he wants to try his hand at being a pirate? Well, just about everything as it happens, but that’s what makes Our Flag Means Death so fun to watch. Well, that and Rhys Darby, who makes everything he touches turn to gold (even his role as the Interim Deputy Director of Turalism), and Taika Waititi. While you’re laid up feeling wretched, you can count on Our Flag Means Death to remind you that life really isn’t so bad. What We Do In the Shadows Image via FX This is a strange choice for this list, and I’m willing to admit that I might just be a little bit of a weirdo when it comes to my personal choice in comfort shows, but What We Do In the Shadows is one of my favorites, and it never fails to lift my spirits. It’s a mockumentary about the daily lives of traditional vampires finding their way in the modern world of Staten Island. The incredible movie came first in 2014 (directed by Taika Waititi), later rebooted into a series by FX in 2019. Schmigadoon! Image via Apple TV+ Even if you hate musicals, you’ll find something to enjoy about Schmigadoon. It actively pokes fun at musicals while undoubtedly being one itself (with one of the main characters constantly complaining about the singing, which is entirely understandable), and the songs themselves are equal parts horrifying and catchy (sex education to the tune of Do-Re-Mi). So yes, even if you’ve never enjoyed a musical in your life, I promise you’ll enjoy Schmigadoon. The Office Image via NBC I have to get something off my chest. As a British person, it’s almost blasphemous to say that the American Office is better than the original *** Office. But it is. Michael Scott is just infinitely more likable than David Brent, and the humor just works in a way that Ricky Gervais never managed to achieve. There, I said it. I’ll let you know if I get lynched by the great British public. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know what The Office is. It’s a Mockumentary following the staff at Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. Michael, Jim, Pam, Dwight, and the rest of the team are so familiar to people now that they’ve essentially become real people, and rewatching The Office feels like spending time with friends, which is always comforting. Friends Image via NBC Even if you were born after the last episode aired (2004, as a reminder to those who were around at the time), I can guarantee that you’ve seen at least one clip from an episode of Friends. It birthed thousands of memes that still live on in infamy, including “You’re my lobster” and “We were on a break”. There’s a huge amount of comfort from rewatching the journey that the group went on over 10 seasons, even with the questionable 90s fashion choices on display. Superstore Image via NBC A sitcom set in a supermarket doesn’t sound like it would be the most thrilling of watches, but actually, Superstore manages to be both heartwarming and filled with drama. There are babies nearly born in the aisles, a hurricane that tears through the roof, and even a realistic portrayal of retail life during the Covid-19 pandemic. Throw in an oftentimes infuriating will-they-won’t-they romance, and Superstore feels comforting whenever you watch it and touches on real-life events that we all remember without feeling forced. The Big Bang Theory Image via CBS What could be more comforting than a group of science nerds finding their way in the real world? Well, a lot of things, but there’s more to The Big Bang Theory than that basic premise. There are love stories, heartbreak, and an almost coming-of-age feeling to the show, even though everyone involved is very much of age. There are countless cameos from infamous nerd superstars like Stephen Hawking, Bill Nye, Leonard Nimoy, and even Stan Lee, and the pop-culture references to all things even nerd-adjacent will always leave you smiling.

Sony's first PlayStation VR for the PlayStation 4 hit stores at the right price at the right time and ended up being one of VR's biggest hits. The PlayStation 5's PlayStation VR2? Not so much, unfortunately. In either an effort to clear unsold inventory, an attempt to revitalize the platform, or both, Sony has announced it's dropping the price of the headset significantly. Starting in March, the main SKU of the headset will drop from $550 to $400 in the US. Europe, the ***, and Japan will also see price cuts to 550 euros, 400 pounds, and 66,980 yen, respectively, as detailed on the PlayStation Blog. Strangely, the bundle that includes the game Horizon: Call of the Mountain will also drop to the same exact price. (That's welcome, but it's also a little bit difficult not to interpret that as a sign that this is an attempt to clear unsold inventory more than anything else.) The headset launched in early 2023 but has suffered from weak software support ever since—a far cry from the first PSVR, which had one of the strongest libraries of its time. It didn't help that unlike the regular PlayStation 5, the PSVR2 was not backward-compatible with games released for its predecessor. Read full article Comments View the full article

It took a few matches of Splitgate 2 before I understood what 1047 Games was going for in the sequel. A preview session held a few weeks ago took us through every mode on offer in the alpha running today through March 2, and while I couldn't stay for the whole thing, I stuck around long enough to fall in love with Hotzone, 1047's take on King of the Hill...

One of the first larger monsters you encounter in Monster Hunter Wilds is the Doshaguma and its Alpha leader, a territorial beast whose aggression makes it hard to beat. This fanged, lumbering creature of the Windward Plains is larger and meaner than most wildlife you'll see throughout your travels. The Alpha Doshaguma stands out among its brethren, shaking the very earth as you try to hunt it. View the full article For verified travel tips and real support, visit: [Hidden Content]

Very early on in Monster Hunter Wilds, you’re going to have to figure out how to defeat Lala Barina, a monster that looks and fights much differently from what you've faced so far. Soon after you enter the Scarlet Forest, you’ll notice something is amiss with the water—it’s bright red. This is due to the scarlet spider Lala Barina and its potent silk florets, which—despite looking like roses—can paralyse a Hunter in an instant. Naturally, the guild is very interested in taking it down... Read more.View the full article

The creator of the Falloutseries has revealed some of his ideas that ultimately didn't make the cut, but at least one of them would eventually be realized in a later game – and in a better way. Originally starting out under the working title Vault-13: A GURPS Post-Nuclear Role-Playing Game, the first game in the Fallout franchise was released in 1997, but the project went through several upheavals during the course of its three-year development that saw many ideas being tweaked or even completely thrown out along the way.

Monster Hunter Wilds is out this week on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC, but it goes live at a specific time. Sometimes a game will go live at midnight in each time zone around the world, meaning the likes of New Zealand and Australia get to play it before anyone else. Other times, however, a game launches at exactly the same time around the world, so that everyone can get started together regardless of where they live. Read More... View the full article
